    You didn’t, this is what you wrote:

    Uh huh, and I also said this:

    You also took this picture at dusk, when the plaza is draped in shadow and there is no sunlight directly bouncing off. If you’d even been to a waterfall this tall in such conditions in real life, you’d know they actually look more like this

    …Which you’re conveniently ignoring because you’d rather argue on semantics and ignore relevant context rather than address the content of my response.

    I didn’t specifically took the screenshots at a point in time where the ingame graphics look the worst. I just went on a mission with my companion Sarah just like usual and took this screenshot in the process. Because when I looked at the scene I thought: “Goddammit, that is just the worst graphics I’ve seen in a long time, I have to take a picture here” :D

    Wrong. You saw this highly specific situation, thought it looked ugly, took a screenshot, then fired up Elex to find a shot that looks better - with different context and lighting conditions - and then crafted a single image to compare these very different shots of very different games with the explicit purpose of shifting on a game because you have a beef with it.

    …for laughs?

    I paid a hundred bucks for the Premium edition of the game and as I stated in numerous comments, I actually enjoyed playing the side content, I just didn’t like the main missions and the skill grind.

    Okay, good for you? All this explains is why you have a beef with the game. But from my point of you, if you got enjoyment out of it, great.

    You clearly do, because you’re snapping right now. I don’t even know why you take this meme so seriously.

    Uh huh. Here’s the context of this thread:

    • Nobody:
    • You: Starfield is so ugly that even Elex looks better. Look at this highly specific comparison.
    • Me: No it’s not and here’s why your comparison is wrong.
    • You: Rawr you can’t handle criticism! Why won’t you let me meme?

    Who’s snapping at who? I provided you reasons for why your comparison is wrong - which you have not addressed. You didn’t have to respond to me. But you did. And here we are.

    I made the effort to prove my point, I even fired up the game again although I’m already finished with it and took screenshots for people that don’t own the game to see what I mean.

    No you didn’t. You fired up the game and found another highly specific example - an unpopulated spot of a barren moon with 2 resources at night, because you refuse to address my reasons becausr the only meat for your arguement is to create more disingenuous comparisons.

      God forbid someone comes to a meme community for laughs. 😆

      People can make jokes about games they actually like, you know. Maybe you should get out, take a breath of fresh air, calm down in the process and accept the fact that you’re on [email protected] and this whole discussion is totally pointless.

      Or just write another essay the length of Macbeth because someone posted a gray waterfall on the internet. It’s totally healthy and not ridiculous at all…you could also just drop another F-bomb to prove your point, that was really great discussion culture.

        Its more sad than anything that you thought your jpeg was funny.

        drop another F-bomb

        Cry about it a little more buddy. I’m loving it.

        Lol k buddy. I’m responding in between gardening breaks - but sure - whatever helps you justify disengaging.

            Lol I love that I’ve offended you so much that you took time out of your day to find two of my comments and come up with comment-specific insults. Give me more of your tears. They’re so delicious.

              I just read through the thread lmao, it’s easy to come up with “comment-specific insults” when my eyes turn the squiggles on the screen into words in my head. Ain’t no tears here friend, just laughing at your essay fails

      So you said two different things at two different points and are angry someone confused the two?

        Yeah you’re right, he’s probably just a complete moron with the reading comprehension of a 5 year old. That’s totally the answer.

            You’re the one suggesting that clarifying a generalized comparison with a more specific example “confused him”.
